1994 Accord Low Bean Headlights
 

I just had one of my low beam headlights die on me. I followed the instructions in the manual to replace the bulb, but I ran into a problem. It seems as if the electrical connector is fused. I tried for about an hour to yank the connector off, but it didn't even budge (yes, I was squeezing the tab). Any thoughts? Thanks...

Look how there's holes in the lugs on the new lamp... It's hard, but the
left and right sides of the connector have dots where you have to
squeeze HARD to get the locks to come out of the holes in the lugs. By
the time you're done, the lugs won't be gripping the lugs very well on
the new lamp, and you may have to dissasemble the plastic hood and give
the brass lugs a fresh squeeze with pliers.

Odyssey has the same problem (and it gets worse if you have Daytime
Driving Lights)
